LOBE PUMPS.--Another type of gear pump
used in a variety of hydraulic systems is called a lobe
pump (fig. 8-9). The principle of operation of this
pump is exactly the same as the spur tooth pump. The
lobes are constructed so there is a continuous seal
(vane) at the point of juncture at the center of the pump
and also on the housing.

INTERNAL GEAR PUMPS.--Another
common style is the internal gear pump, shown in

gear-shaped elements (one within the other) located in
the pump chamber. The inner gear is connected to the
drive shaft of the source of power. In figure 8-10, you
are shown both the front and the back of the
mechanism. Figure 8-11 illustrates the operation of
this pump.
